Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis presents with
Correct Answer: Renal failure
Description: Clinical Features The most common clinical presentation is acute nephritic syndrome. Edema and hypeension are common, with mild to moderate azotemia. Characteristically, there is gross hematuria, the urine appearing smoky brown rather than bright red due to oxidation of hemoglobin to methemoglobin. Some degree of proteinuria is a constant feature, and, as mentioned earlier, it occasionally may be severe enough to produce the nephrotic syndrome. Serum complement levels are low during the active phase of the disease, and serum antistreptolysin O antibody titers are elevated in poststreptococcal cases.
